This paper studies optical solitons, in presence of perturbation terms, by the aid of He's variational principle. The intermodal dispersion, self-steepening and nonlinear dispersion are all treated as perturbation terms. Both Kerr law as well as power law nonlinearities are considered in this paper.
In this paper, two solitary wave solutions are obtained for the Vakhnenko–Parkes equation with power law nonlinearity by the ansatz method. Both topological as well as non-topological solitary wave solutions are obtained. The parameter regimes, for the existence of solitary waves, are identified during the derivation of the solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
